6.5x47 Lapua and varget.

Is that a compressed load? I found a tight node at 36.1 with the 130 Bergers, but it's a little slow. Same charge shot 139 scenars well. Both grouped one hole at 100 pretty much. Haven't tried em at distance yet. Velocity was 2785 for the Bergers and 2720 with the 139 scenars, ES was 7 and 10 over 10 shots.
 
Not a compressed load. I'm getting just shy of 2900fps with the 130s. 36.3gr is what I use with the 140 bergers and they average 2700fps. 24" barrel.
 
130 vld 36.6 Varget shot amazing for me (0.358" 4 shots 200 yards) but was too hot and made ejector marks. For some reason this rifle shows pressure very early. l use 35.6 and this still shoots well and gets 2808 fps. I'm using CCI BR4 primers and my es/sd is extremely low. I'd have to check but I'm pretty sure I am seated 10 thou off the lands right now. Got nice groups at 1158 yards with this load. My accuracy nodes seem to be exactly 1 grain apart. I used the OCW method to develop this load and it seemed to work. I was getting between 0.75 and 1.0 moa 5 shot groups at 1258 yards so I'm happy. I've got a better trigger coming which I think will help.

I love this cartridge. If you have any questions feel free to pm me.

Thanks! I may take you up on that. I couldn't get my ES anywhere respectable untill I switched to gm205m primers. Br4's were at least double. I'm shooting a 30" tube. I had the 139 scenars up to 37.2 without too much pressure.
